Ch. 57 - The Grey-robed Prisoner

At the same time, there were several powerful lights flashing closer, but after seeing the green-robed Saint, they all put away their domineering aura and came forward to greet him.

Even within the Six Mountains and Three Realms, the Holy Son in green-robe was feared by everyone, and no one dared to be disrespectful to him.

"Holy Son Tai Qing, Saintness Eclipse Moon, Deacon Jiyou ... I never would've imagined that a simple entrance examination would lead to inviting a small half of the forces in the Six Mountains and Three Realms." An old voice spread throughout the sky, and a figure in a gray robe emerged from the sky, and his expression was a little lamenting.

"I have seen the Mountain Lord!" Many peak masters and disciples of the Outer Sect all saluted one after another, and there was a respectful expression on their faces.

Even though the vast majority of the Outer Sect Disciples had never seen the gray-robed old man at all, but they already knew the identity of this man, and they bowed their heads and saluted.

Holy Son Tai Qing's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Lord of Luoxia Mountain?"

The old man didn't care about the rudeness in the tone of the Tai Qing Holy Son, nodded and said, "It is a good thing for a genius to be born within the entrance examination. Everyone must not be drawn to each other, no matter which power this discipline chooses, in the end they are all people of my Taiyu Holy Sect."

"Mountain Lord, what's the difference between what you said and what you're implying?" The person named Jiyou sneered, with a somewhat arrogant expression on his face. "Don't be pretentious, what do you mean by My Taiyu Holy Sect? Have you forgotten your prisoner status? What's more, can the minuscule Luoxia Mountain be regarded as a part of Taiyu Holy Sect?"

After these words were spoken, hundreds of thousands of disciples and even hundreds of peak masters were silent, not daring to make a sound.

However, the rest of the people from the Six Mountains and Three Realms looked at the gray-robed old man with interest, as if to see how he would react to such disrespectful remarks.

The Lord of the Luoxia Mountains creased his eyebrows and his voice became deeper and deeper, "Is Deacon Jiyou saying that my Luoxia Mountain Range does not belong to the Taiyu Sect?"

Jiyou saw that he still had a somewhat wimpy tone, and couldn't help laughing. "Don't put a hat on me, you, an old man who has been imprisoned for a long time---"

Before he could finish uttering those words, his voice stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face become completely stagnant.

Boom!

The figure of the gray-robed old man dissipated on the spot, and the next moment he appeared directly in front of Jiyou. Between his palms, he directly crushed Jiyou's head into countless spots of light!

"You know that I am a prisoner, and I don't care about adding more crimes to my name, why do you want to provoke me?"

The Mountain Lord sighed, his mouth opened in an incredible arc, and Jiyou's body was devoured in a single bite. After chewing a few times, he swallowed him completely.

"Bind!" The indifferent mechanical voice spread throughout the sky from the formation that enveloped the Luoxia Mountains, and countless chains of lightning roared, causing the Luoxia Mountain Lord to hide in the invisible space again.

"Since I was sealed in this mountain range as the Mountain L ord, I belong to the Taiyu Holy Sect in both life and death." The low voice of the gray-robed old man gradually faded away, and the few people who came with Jiyou were already stunned, and they had not fully recovered until that time.

"His Highness Holy Son Tai Qing, Mountain Lord of Luoxia violated the sect rules, don't you care?!" One of them roared loudly at Holy Son Tai Qing with an angry expression on his face.

Holy Son Tai Qing had a strange look on his face and said, "According to the law of the Taiyu Holy Sect, he should be slaughtered directly, but ..."

"But what?"

"But this person was sealed here by the Qingluo Realm. As the Mountain Lord of the Luoxia Mountains, he cultivated disciples for the sect and as atoned for his crimes."

Tai Qing laughed. "Even as a Holy Son, I can't do anything to him. What's more, although I am also in the Divine Sea Realm, I am not necessarily his opponent."

The man's expression became more and more resentful, and he stopped making a noise, but left the Luoxia Mountains directly with a few other people who came with Jiyou.

A deacon of the True Dao Realm died in the Luoxia Mountains.

Moreover, it was not a trivial matter to die at the hands of the Mountain Lord.

"Ji Yuenian, what are you thinking?" Holy Son Ta Qing turned to look at Ji Yuenian, his smile still warm.

Several other forces from the Six Mountains and Three Realms had lost their desire to fight. After all, they couldn't promise the position of the Holy Son of a Mountain range, nor were they qualified to promise such a reward.

"Wait a minute," Eclipse Moon said through gritted teeth, "Ji Yuenian, if you can enter my Luoyin Mountain, I can also go to Master and help you ask for the same!"

"Your Highness the Eclipse Moon, your promise is too perfunctory." Li Shixuan said from the side, "There is a deeply hidden regulation within the Holy Sect, and not many people know about it, but I just happened to have seen this sect rule that is almost never used."

Ji Yuenian seemed to think of something, looked up, and met Li Shixuan's gaze.

Li Shixuan nodded lightly at him and said with a smile, "It is stated in the regulations that if a creature walks through the three hundred stone steps above the Cloud Stone Steps. After entering the Six Mountains and Three Realms, he can be directly listed as the candidate Holy Son. No additional conditions are required. As far as I know, only a few creatures have been able to meet this regulation for more than 70,000 years."

Eclipse Moon's complexion changed one after another, and she said again, "This disciple originally belonged to Eclipse Peak!"

"What's the proof?" Li Shixuan shook his head without fear of her status as a Saintness. "Where is the identification token from the peak? Is there any?"

Eclipse Moon was speechless.

Li Shixuan turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian and said, "For you, the Sixth Mountain, Taiyin Mountain, is not a bad chance, but there is only one Taiyin Sword Vein, and the direction of cultivation is too unidirectional. My Li family is in the Third Mountain. We have quite a bit of say and power, and all kinds of magic techniques are in our possession; as many as stars.  If you come with us, with the support of the Li family, you will be 70% guaranteed the position of the Holy Son of the Third Mountain."

Holy Son Tai Qing shook his head. After Li Shixuan said "there is only one Taiyin Sword Vein" he already knew that this disciple would not choose the Sixth Mountain.

He had already seen the detailed information pertaining to this disciple, and he had even witnessed him taking the 300th step.

The practice of the Taiyin Sword Vein was different from the rest of the magic techniques. It was necessary to refine all the Shengong, Shenque and Jiangong acupoints into sword meridians. After that, other techniques couldn't be practiced. Although the power was extremely terrifying, there were also many limitations.
